Check out this article in The New York Times Style section today! http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/25/fashion/25Prep.html?_r=1&ref=fashion

They are relaunching a book called “Take Ivy,” and while it seems mostly geared towards men I love the idea that the “preppy” fashion trend is making a come back. For me, it never went out. Of course I’ve dabbled in trendy looks but always with a more conservative/traditional flair.

Collars up!

The beloved New York Times published an article last week. Read it HERE. The article announces “True Prep,” a sequel to TOPH. I’m of course overwhelmed with excitement. I simply cannot wait to get my copy, after all TOPH was the inspiration for my novel, Social Climbers.

My favorite bloggers, Summer is a Verb and Monograms & Manicures were quoted – Congrats girls!!

BUT….there are 84 comments on the article. And most of them are SO MEAN!

“The Official Preppy Handbook” is a classic and best seller, “True Prep” is sure to be as well. And I’ll do everything in my power to celebrate the prep lifestyle. We spread pink and green cheer and preppy love. To the haters who felt the need to leave a comment, WHY BE MEAN? Why’d you even read the article? Why bother to leave a comment? What is your problem? Do you feel better now that you got your negative comment onto the www?

I’m not interested in politics. So if a book on said category comes out, I simply won’t read it. I wouldn’t read articles and then leave seething comments. I’d simply turn my head.

Let us like what we like and leave us alone. Are you jealous? Why so angry? I don’t get it.

Collars up!
